-Processes in Stages exist in many different versions, workspaces, variants, and process instances. AI technologies work best if the scope of the underlying information is clear and well-defined. Combining different process versions, variants, and instances would result in imprecise or even misleading answers. Therefore, multiple sets of processes can be defined, one for each //view// on the process landscape.+Processes in Stages exist in many different workspaces and versions, including variants and specific project instances. AI technologies work best if the scope of the underlying information is clear and well-defined; combining the information from all Stages processes would result in imprecise or even misleading answers.
  
-Possible process views are:+Therefore, you must define one or more //views// of the process landscape that scope the processes considered by the Stages Assistant. 
 + 
 +Examples of a process view might include:
  
   * Standard processes that everyone should follow   * Standard processes that everyone should follow
-  * Process variants, e.g. a development process for normal products, one for safety-critical products, one of cybersecurity-critical products, and one for both safety- and cybersecurity-critical products +  * A process variant – for example, you might have separate views for a development process for safety-critical products and the process without safety requirements 
-  * Processes that are especially tailored for specific programs or projects+  * A process tailored for a specific program or process
  
-Views can consist of a single workspace or a collection of workspaces. This way, the standard process view can consist of a workspace containing the standard development process, one or more workspaces containing all organizational processes that are not executed by projects or product teams, and a workspace containing the organizational policies.+Views consist of a single workspace or a collection of workspaces. For example, if you have separate workspaces for the standard development process and other organizational workspaces, you can group them into a workspace collection to include all of that process content in a single view.
  
-Stages Assistants are always trained on the //Valid Version// of the process content in each workspace. This version __must be different__ than the Working Version.+Note: The Stages Assistant is always trained on the Valid Version of the process content in each workspace. The Valid Version __must be different__ than the Working Version; if the Working Version is set to be the Valid Version, the training will fail.

 +===== Disable History =====
 +
 +In newer Stages Versions the chat history can be disabled, e.g., to comply with local policies or regulations. Chats and chat messages will not be stored in the database. To disable history, add the following property to conf/config.xml:
 +
 +<code xml>
 +<property name="ai.chatbot.history.enabled" value="false"/>
